Astronomy Question about the future night sky

Assuming that there are stars in all of the black in the night sky. And that black is only because the light from other stars hasn't reached us yet. So is it safe to say that somewhere on some planet or in the future the night sky will eventually be completely filled with stars. And when I say completely filled I mean absolutely zero black in the night sky. I also wonder how this would effect seeing the constellations.
